What to Know

Critics Consensus

Ethan Green makes for an annoying protagonist, the jokes aren't funny, and everyone is as flat as the paper the comic is printed on.

Desson Thomson Washington Post The Mostly Unfabulous Social Life of Ethan Green can't be accused of false advertising. This adaptation of the underground comic strip is mostly unfabulous. Aug 10, 2006 Full Review Marrit Ingman Austin Chronicle There's just not enough real heart to go along with the cutesiness. Rated: 2/5 Aug 6, 2006 Full Review Moira MacDonald Seattle Times George Bamber's film is bouncy and agreeable but has a certain flatness to it; never making the case for its existence as a movie rather than a comic strip. Rated: 2/4 Aug 4, 2006 Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter Writer David Vernon and director George Bamber have adroitly mined the best gags and one-liners from the strip, surrounded Ethan with a Dawson's Creek-quality supporting ensemble... May 12, 2020 Full Review Dave White Movies.com Lead characters who are completely unlikable fly right in the face of what most filmmakers think the audience wants. But I'll take that any day over a blandly nice character. Rated: B Jul 6, 2010 Full Review Bill White Seattle Post-Intelligencer The drawings of Eric Orner's comic strip on which the movie is based are more animated than the actors who fail to give any dimension to their characters. Rated: D Aug 3, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
